“Cynthia is the best cat/home sitter we've ever had. She sent great photo updates and provided great care for our kitties while we were away. She also helped bring in the mail, cleaned up any littler pellets that spilled outside the cat boxes and left us a little welcome home treat. We will hire Cynthia again without question. Highly recommend!”
“We had Kati watch our cat for a week while we went on vacation and she made us feel so comfortable doing so. She took great care of our pet and even went out of her way to clean up messes our cat made and took in our garbage cans. We will definitely use her again!”
“Madeline takes the best care of my cat Milo! I’m so thankful for her care and professionalism!! I’ve used her services numerous times and she is consistently excellent :)”
“So grateful for the fine care my cats received from Amanda during a recent vacation. She provided great updates on my pets and event contacted me when she had a concern about my older cat's health on one of the visits. Would gladly rebook with Amanda! Highest recommendation!”
“Thank you, Taylor, for taking such great care of Smoki Bell. I knew she was in great hands with you watching her while I was away on vacation. 10/10 would recommend you to anyone in need of a pet sitter. Thank you, again! 🤍”
“Jennifer was amazing! She was very professional and maintained excellent communication throughout the entire time (about 2 weeks). We had a walkthrough about 3 months before our trip and she reached out to do a refresher run through shortly before we left to make sure she didn't miss anything, which was greatly appreciated. She left thorough notes after each visit. My kitties are generally pretty shy when it comes to new people but they warmed up to her very quickly! Would definitely have Jennifer care for my babies again!”
“Evelyn is a god send! She was FABULOUS with our pets. We have a sassy cat and two buns who absolutely loved her! She was prompt on timing and followed all of the directions we had. She met with us before our vacation to meet our furry friends and pick up keys. She sent hilarious updates and pictures. We never had a worry with Evelyn watching our pets. 10 out 10 would book her again.”
“Becca did a great job watching my cat—super responsive and easy to work with. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I need a sitter. Highly recommend!”
“My 2 cats absolutely love Allison. ❤️ She keeps me updated on how my cats are doing while I’m away. She sends me adorable pictures of my two fur babies. She is responsible and kindhearted. She plays with them and keeps them busy. She feeds them on time and takes excellent care of them. Allison you are phenomenal!!!!”
“Jenn was fantastic! Cared for our pets like they were her own. Great communication! She sent updates with photos on every visit. She handled everything: the litter boxes, dishes and even administered meds twice daily for one of our cats! We think highly of Jenn, would confidently book her again and happily recommend her.”
“Jaime is wonderful! She took excellent care of our cats, fish and turtles. She also sent photos several times and kept me updated that everything was fine. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Katerina was great with our cat. She arrived every day on time and always sent a picture! She was even able to give Tony his transdermal medication which can be a real pain. I would certainly book her again.”
About: I have volunteered at animal shelters for years and fostered cats with medical needs. I love all animals and believe they deserve the best care! I am currently working part time and have lots of availability during the week and on weekends. I also may be available on Monday and Wednesday evenings if known ahead of time. I can adapt to however you prefer to care for your pets! I currently have a cat who is very friendly towards other animals as well.
“Sara takes fabulous care of my cat, sends lots of pictures, is very responsive, and seems to love spending time with my cat playing and getting to know her personality! This is my second time working with Sara and I would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a young girl, and ever since, there’s always been a pup by my side. I grew up with Rottweilers, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds, but I adore dogs of all sizes and personalities! My home is currently pet-free (aside from the occasional foster), which means your dog will get my full attention and plenty of love. Whether you need gentle senior care, energetic puppy playtime, or reliable daily walks, I’m here to make sure your furry family member feels happy, safe, and cared for. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, affection, and respect for their unique needs. 🐾 Reach out today — I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule at the moment, so I can easily be available to help meet the needs of you and your pet(s)! When caring for pets, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to get to know each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality to ensure they feel secure and happy in my care. In your home, I treat your space with respect and follow your care instructions closely — from feeding and medication schedules to walking routes and playtime routines. I make sure doors and gates are secured, keep an eye out for potential hazards, and always double-check that your pet’s environment is safe before leaving. When pets stay with me, they enjoy a calm, clean, and pet-friendly home environment. I maintain a consistent routine, provide plenty of supervision, and create an stress-free atmosphere where your pet can relax and feel loved. I believe trust is built through communication and reliability, so I keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout each stay or visit. You can feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands! 🐾
“Elyse was fantastic. Mello is a super shy girl but she was comfortable with Elyse right away. It’s clear that Elyse has a lot of experience with animals the way she took care of Mello. When I need a pet sitter again, I’m going with Elyse.”
“Grace was lovely! Dottie is a bit of a scaredy-cat for most strangers, but she came out to play on the second visit, so that speaks volumes! Will absolutely work with Grace again.”
About: I spent 20 years honing my skills in animal behavior and medical care for pets and exotics. I have a passion for treating pets as if they are my own. Military life moved me around the country, so establishing reliability to help my neighbors and friends was easy. Skills include insulin injections, fluid administration, oral medications administrations and bathing/nail trims. I work full time at a close veterinary emergency hospital. I get my hours in 3 days and am open for the rest. Message and discuss schedule as needed! Feeding, watering, provide medicine/supplements, walking/exercise, snuggles and if needed grooming. I would treat them as if they are mine and respect the clients property and space.
